Goodwill Gods

I'm pretty sure the Goodwill Gods were looking out for me on Wednesday night because guess what I found?

A REAL, VINTAGE CAMPAIGN DRESSER! FOR $15! 1-5! $15!

Can you believe it?! On Tuesday night I had finished DIYing a fake campaign style desk and then just yesterday I was complaining about how finding a vintage campaign desk on Craigslist was impossible and then BAM! Goodwill smacks me in the face with this! Sure it's not a desk, but it's a real campaign piece! I'm telling you, it was fate :)

I'm pretty sure I let out a yelp when I saw it and possibly startled some customers as I was flailing my arms around trying to get my boyfriend's attention but I couldn't believe my eyes!

The dresser is in really bad shape cosmetic wise, and it's missing one of it's "L" braces (I found the other one in the top drawer!) but the bones are good and the makeover possibilities are endless!

Missing hardware :( Hopefully I can find a decent replacement!

Can you see the potential or do you think I bit off more than I can chew? Check back on Monday to see what else I got!
